SPACEThe space is to be used solely for the Exhibitor/Sponsor whose name appears in this agree-ment and it is agreed that the Exhibitor/Sponsor will not sublet or assign any portion of the same without written consent of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc. (“ACFE”).

LIABILITY/ RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSEThe Exhibitor/Sponsor is entirely responsible for the space that is allotted to it and agrees to reimburse the exhibition hall facility where the Event is to be held (“Exhibition Hall”) or ACFE for any damage to the floors, walls, ceiling or equipment in the space it has been allowed to use. The Exhibitor/Sponsor assumes all responsibility for any and all loss, theft or damage to Exhibitor/Sponsor’s displays, equipment and other property during the exhibition, and while on the Exhibition Hall premises, and hereby waives any claim or demand it may have against ACFE or its affiliates, or against Exhibition Hall or its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates arising from such loss, theft or damage. In addition, the Exhibitor/Sponsor agrees to defend (if re-quested by and with counsel satisfactory to ACFE), indemnify and hold harmless ACFE and Exhibition Hall and their respective parent, subsidiary and other affiliated or related compa-nies from and against any liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, fines, suits, costs and ex-penses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs up through and including any appeal, arising from or in connection with the Exhibitor/Sponsor’s occupancy and use of the Exhibition Hall premises or any part thereof or any negligent act, error or omission or willful misconduct of the Exhibitor/Sponsor or its employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents.

INSURANCEIt is the responsibility of the Exhibitor/Sponsor to maintain proper insurance coverage for its property and liability. ACFE or the Exhibition Hall may require certificates of workman’s compensation and commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence from the Exhibitor/Sponsor 90 days prior to the Event.

FORCE MAJEURE In the event the exhibition is not held as a result of any cause not reasonably within ACFE’s control (including, without limitation, acts of terrorism, unavailability of transportation that pre-vents the occurrence of the exhibition, acts of God, war, civil disturbances, declaration of national emergency, accidents or labor disputes, fire, storms, etc.) then both parties will be relieved of performance of their obligations under this agreement (and any accompanying payment obligations) to the extent such performance is so directly limited or prevented, without liability of any kind.

EXHIBITOR/SPONSOR CONDUCTThe distribution of samples, souvenirs, publications, etc., or other sales or sales promotion activities must be conducted by Exhibitor/Sponsor only from within its booth. The distribution of any article that interferes with the activities or obstructs access to neighboring booths, or that impedes aisles, is prohibited. No article containing any product other than the product or material made or used by the Exhibitor/Sponsor in its service may be distributed. The Exhib-itor/Sponsor shall conduct and operate its exhibit so as not to annoy, endanger or interfere with the rights of other Exhibitor/Sponsors and visitors. ACFE reserves the right to prohibit any exhibit that, in its sole discretion and judgment, is inappropriate, offensive, or may detract from the general character of the show.

Any demonstrations or activity that may result in obstruction of aisles or that prevent ready access to nearby Exhibitor/Sponsor’s booths shall be prohibited. Exhibitor/Sponsor’s booth(s) must be staffed by the Exhibitor/Sponsor during all open show hours.

MERCHANDISE REMOVALNo exhibit or part of exhibit may be removed until after the closing hour of the last date of the Event unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Exhibits must be removed from the building by the time specified. In the event that the Exhibitor/Sponsor fails to remove

its exhibit in the allotted time, ACFE reserves the right at the Exhibitor/Sponsor’s expense, to ship the exhibit through a carrier of ACFE’s choosing or to place the same in a storage warehouse subject to the Exhibitor/Sponsor’s disposition or make such other disposition of this property as it may deem appropriate without any liability to ACFE.

OBSERVANCE OF LAWSExhibitor/Sponsor shall abide by and observe all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances of any applicable government authority and all rules of the Exhibition Hall.

TRADEMARKSExhibitor/Sponsor grants ACFE, without the right to sublicense, a nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use and display Exhibitor/Sponsor’s com-pany name and Logo on ACFE website(s), print materials and in other marketing media solely for purposes of promoting the Event and future events, provided that such use is in accor-dance with Exhibitor/Sponsor’s established brand guidelines. If Exhibitor/Sponsor elects to become a branded sponsor for any portion of the Event, the use of Exhibitor/Sponsor’s logo, marks or artwork (collectively “Sponsor Artwork”) on any Event merchandise or collateral is subject to the prior approval of ACFE, which reserves the right to reject any Sponsor Artwork that, in ACFE’s sole discretion, fails to meet the defined specifications or general standards of quality for ACFE events. Exhibitor grants the ACFE or anyone authorized by the ACFE, the right to use or publish, in print or electronic format, any photographs or video taken during the Event which contain images of Exhibitor’s booth or space, including any trademarks, logos, or other images displayed in or on Exhibitor’s booth or space, as well as any images or likenesses of Exhibitor’s employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents in the Exhibit Hall or at the Event.
